Tap into the Energy of Kids
While many adults may be feeling stressed, fearful, and fatigued, kids have a natural energy and enthusiasm for the present moment. They are excited to play outside, watch their favorite shows, ask curious questions, and enjoy simple pleasures. Adults can learn from this by finding ways to tap into the energy and joy of being present like a child, while still fulfilling responsibilities and taking care of what needs to be done.
Embrace the Ordinary and Learn from Kids
In the midst of uncertain and negative world events, it's important to zoom in and appreciate the ordinary moments of life. By observing and learning from kids, who are fully engaged in the present and find joy in the simple experiences, adults can cultivate a sense of presence and enjoyment. Embracing this childlike perspective can help adults better navigate challenging times while still fulfilling their responsibilities.
